    I haven't used them as they are a 5* team aren't they? I noticed RVP's overall has gone up but what have they changed his pace/strength to?
    Not sure exactly, but he is fast, turns on six-pence, and is strong out muscled Vidic earlier, plus his left foot is like Ronaldo. He's a nightmare.

    I used Anzhi before and they have lost the very fast left winger so I can't play Zhirkov at LB anymore but Carlos is still in there so he fits in fine. It is ridiculous though as my game was also against Anzhi and fair play to the guy I was 4-0 up at half time and he stayed until the end, won 6-0 as I was trying to score great goals :awesome:

    Liverpool and Napoli are by far and away my two favourite teams at 4.5* and Belgium are a team who are perfect for me. Napoli and Liverpool are far better post-update as well.
    Bilbao are a great 4* team, Santos would be but it is too much messing with their formation as everyone stands on everyone elses toes.
    I have only used one 5* team online in about the last 50 matches and it was boring as ****. There is just too much fluke and bobble.
    Using Anzhi now won me 4 in a row and got me out of division 4. Drew first 2 in division 3. Strikers, like Eto mostly are just too good for nearly all the defences.

    I love Napoli too. Their front 3 rip defences apart. Defensively weak though. Liverpool i don't mind playing as. Never been a fan of playing as Suarez. Never thought he plays like a 86 rated player. And Bellamy's shooting and finishing is weak. Nevertheless a good team to play as for 4.5*. I went through a Bilbao stage. Got a bit boring. Just made me into an incredibly boring player, who relies on the height and quality of Llorente to bang them in as they haven't really got much else going for them! Santos i went through a stage of too. Neymar is sick, but the rest of the team wasn't really up to it. Seems like a lot of us pick the same teams then as basically all the teams mentioned above plus Swansea (mainly because they are my home team and know their play inside out) are who i have gone through phases of playing as. Juve too, before they went 5*

    Yeah...they upped a few ratings and got Cisse in.
    I miss playing with him and Makiadi at Freiberg. If I was against someone who wasn't so good I could annihilate them with them two.

    Proudest two games were 9-0 in the cup and 12-2 in the league (to get us promoted as well :awesome:- to be fair in that game after it was about 8-2 the guy just started trying to do stuff with his keeper so fair play to him for not just quitting!)

    Can I just ask in the Ultimate team, what exactly helps with chemistry?
    Nationality, League, favourite position, ???, ???

    Also, the immediate players surrounding the player affect chemistry according to the nation.

    Am i one of the few people who has like never quit (well unless my connection disconnects me which is very rare) even when losing like 6-0. Sure it's frustrating, but it's not fair quitting, as i wouldn't want it done to me, and no point seeing as the result will stand. I only get pissed off majorly when someone decides to timewaste. Timewasting int he 1st half? WTF, what are these people playing fifa for?

    Really liking the Fifa Street demo. Love playing as the Addidas team with a front trio of Kaka, Messi and Ven Persie. Also love the mode with the tiny goals making every bit of skill count.

    How often do 4.5* teams get pared up with 5* ones? I was Liverpool before in Division 4 and got stuck with Man City :facepalm2: Game had clearly decided that it wanted them to win beforehand as well as everything kept faling for me and going for them.

    Luckily enough beat Real Madrid as Arsenal the game after to gain promotion to Division 3 with a game to spare. After a disastrous start on FIFA were I lost nearly every one of my first 15 or so games I have had 6 successive promotions playing with as many random teams as possible with the bias towards Belgium and Liverpool being the biggest

    I can say that I've never quit unless my connection fails on me. If you're that far behind, quitting makes no difference and you gain nothing from it. The most infuriating are when people quit when you score in the first five minutes. I mean, come on, you have essentially the entire game to get the game back.

    Going to try and get myself up into Division Four this morning...won two of my first three, and only lost the third due to a game fault, so it should happen.

    good luck; try not to experiment too much at these later stages because u really want to find a perfect formula with your team

    My housemate does this. He says it' just because the rule is there if you quick then then it doesn't count. On the same wavelength, he always tries to not score in the first 5 minutes just so it doesn't happen against him.

    Re: The FIFA Gaming Society
    Im honestly nearly done with this game. I'm getting more and more frustrated every single online seasons game I play,

    -Ive had 10 "post and out" shots, yes 10 in 2 games

    -I'm getting fed up of people fouling me when I'm in on goal, every single game there seems to be some **** who does it

    -Defending is just getting more and more annoying, players just prance through my defence (I was actually good at FIFA old defending)

    -The whole Stop-Turn, Stop-Turn, mentality of every player, which works because the new defending just lets you jockey them

    -Celebrations, they look stupid and crap, just take them out.

    I'm not amazing at FIFA but its just little things that really annoy me, it's a great game at heart but all this little annoyances really effect my opinion on the game

    Rant over

    EDIT: DONE WITH THIS PIECE OF **** GAME.
    Needed 3 points to win the division, 1-0 Up from the 7 minute mark, the other team had absolutely no shots on goal
    Gets to the 90+2 minute literally the last offence of the game
    My keeper punches away a shot that DIDNT need saving
    Upcoming corner (you know my views on corners, there nooby), anyway i just had a gut feeling that they would score it
    Ball comes in..............1 **** header later and its 1-1 and the final whistle blows.
    I SWEAR the game has a momentum meter in the last 10 minutes that makes everything easier to score, and in regards to corners they can get ****ed, EA NEED to make them harder to score because at the moment a diving header is easier to score than a 1v1 with the keeper

    Just scored this peach of a free kick in H2H
    I was winning 2-0 and the guy hadn't had a shot yet so thought I might as well try it :p:

    If I was contemplating buying my first football game since the PS1 era, should I go for the yearly iteration of FIFA or FIFA Street?
